Located on the Brooksville ridge in Hernando County, Chinsegut
WEA consists of the 408-acre Chinsegut Nature Center and the
420-acre Big Pine Tract, the second largest contiguous tract of
old-growth longleaf pine in Florida. Four major events are held at
the Nature Center each year: Reptile/Amphibian Expo Day, Pioneer
Day, Chinsegut Run and Fun Walk, and Welcome Back Songbirds.
Throughout the year, scores of other programs are offered for the
general public, school children, and teachers. Take a night walk to
May's Prairie and listen for frogs, owls, flying squirrels, bats,
and other nighttime wildlife. Learn the fundamentals of bird
watching in Birding 101. Hike through the Big Pine Tract with a
wildlife biologist and learn to read animal sign. Take an
introductory archery workshop or help members of the Florida Native
Plant Society and the Hernando Audubon Society remove exotic plants
and improve the butterfly garden. Volunteer opportunities abound at
Chinsegut WEA. Chinsegut is a choice location for seeing migratory
as well as resident birds. White-tailed deer are abundant and
frequently wander by the Nature Center. Peruse the Wildlife page
for more information about the area's wildlife. (View Link)
